Lincoln K2403-1 Power Mig 350Mp Mig Welder Push Model Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Mig Pulse option will blow you away. If you want your welds to look fantastic, even if you're a novice, this welder is for you. The amperage you can push through this welder is sufficient for just about any job, plus, it is a stable enough power supply that you can weld very thin material. I was able to (just to see if i could) hold an arc at 5 amps (with a smaw stinger I attached). I have never used a better welder, it puts the units at the university I attended to shame. This unit is well worth the money. I was a Miller buyer before, the 350MP changed me...

US Forge Welding Aluminum Specialty Electrode 1/8-Inch by 14-Inch 3-Pack #07331 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The title says you are getting 3 Pack and the picture shows three packages angled across the bottom of the picture. I received one (1) pack which only contained three rods. The advertised Hobart item (Hobart H722844-RDP 1/8-Inch 4043 Aluminum Electrodes) is a much better deal as you will receive ten (10) rods for $10.18 or about $1 per rod. The US Forge rods were over $2/rod. Amazon is allowing false advertising by saying 3-pack are being provided. The ad should say 3 RODS!
UPDATE: After complaining about the false advertising, Amazon did refund me 2/3 of the price since they only sent 1-pack and the listing stated 3-pack and the picture showed 3-packs. Amazon has since changed the photo to show a single package. Amazon still needs to be clear as to what is being sold; 3-packages and each with 3 rods (total 9 rods) or a single package with 3 rods (TOTAL 3 RODS). If it is the latter, then the title of the item should be changed to read 3-ROD PACK. Nowhere in the description does Amazon state how many rods are included.

Hobart 770204 Receptacle,Pin Type Portable 50-Amp 230-Volts Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I used this and the male-version of the same from Hobart to create an extension cable for my 240V welding machine. I am not 100% sure of the terminology but I believe this would be considered a NEMA 6-50C coupler (and the male end a NEMA 6-50P). I've only found these online at the large industrial sites and never for less than $50 a pop before tax and shipping.
Mine is labelled "Made in Mexico." The wire locking mechanism (screw-down terminals), instructions and rubber boot are all perfectly adequate. I do not expect any problems. I share the same hesitations as another reviewer about the lack of a clamp or strain-relief for the wires however my main wire covering was a very tight fit and I threw two heavy-duty zip-ties on for good measure.
If you are a contractor and will be lugging this cable to a different site every day or if you're company is footing the bill, then go ahead and get a -- presumably -- higher quality unit from an industrial supplier. If your use is anything less than professional this coupler will do just fine. In fact, I am buying another one now to make an adapter for an electric-dryer receptacle for times when that is the only plug accessible to me.

Speedway Series 1814 Solar Powered Auto Darkening Welding Helmet Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The helmet is indeed solar powered, and will work without batteries. However, because it requires power to properly operate (meaning detect light changes, turn on, etc), it will only work without batteries in a consistently very (very) well-lit environment. Fortunately it takes two AAA's and then it operates predictably even in a dark room.
The Good:
- detects light pretty fast, goes dark immediately
- the darkness adjustment works.
- I like the head-band tensioner, and the soft padding on the head-band. You can squeeze it onto your head tight enough to restrict circulation.
The Bad:
- detects end-of-welding a bit slowly (this may be a safety feature), you wait a second or two for it to go clear again. This is not that big a deal I guess.
- The up/down tension knob is ... well.. not good. It loosens right away, and the helmet stays up only if you swing it up and behind. Minor gripe, maybe some locktite will fix it.
- The darkness adjustment is a little funny - it causes certain areas of the LCD to go darker rather than the whole surface, also not a big deal.
Summary: It's good enough for my needs, and is certainly better than a plain welding shield.

Hobart 500421 Stickmate LX 235 AC Stick (SMAW) Arc Welding Power Source Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First of all the price along with the free shipping is the best I've seen. It arrived very quickly, several days before the expected delivery date. However it did sustain some cosmetic damage in shipping. It was obviously dropped at least once and the box was pretty rough looking by the time I recieved it. I decided I could live with the cosmetic stuff and didn't go to the point of reporting it. I think you almost have to expect some kind of damage in shipping considering the weight, 120 lbs.
delivered to your door by some poor UPS guy. Anyway, aside from that, the unit looks pretty good. I fired it up and ran a few beads with 7018 and 6011 rod and it worked beautifully. In my opinion just as well if not better than the older model miller thunderbolt 225/150 ac/dc unit I'd been recently using. The front mounted switch to change from ac to dc seems to be of good quality. Though the plastic crank handle for adjusting the amperage seems a little flimsy. I opend the cover to look inside and everything looked pretty well built. Though I was a little disappointed to see the secondary coils made from aluminium windings rather than copper. All in all so far I feel it's worth the money.

Brand New RAMSOND CUT50DY 50 AMP (50 A) Auto Dual Voltage 110/220V 50/60 Hz Inverter Air Plasma Cutter **FREE SHIPPING** Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ordered from Amazon on Monday and received on Friday. Four days from Michigan to Missouri is fast shipping.
This machine was packaged well enough to be air dropped if necessary. The outside box was lined with Styrofoam. The inside box was lined with about 1" thick foam that was made to fit the cutter.
It came with everything except an electrical plug which makes sense because it will work on 110 or 220 so there is no way for them to know what type plug to send. I wired mine for 220.
The first thing I cut was some 1/8 " steel. It zipped right through that. I then tried some ¼" with no problem. The next thing I cut was ½" steel. I got through it but I had to take it easy. I didn't have anything thicker but with my lack of skill I'm not sure I would tackle anything thicker than the ½".
I also tried some very thin steel and it did a great job with a low amp setting. 1/8" and ¼" aluminum cut with no problem.
I don't have a steady hand so most of my cuts looked pretty rough but the machine cuts so fast with no resistance it was hard to get a straight cut. Anyone who has used a cutting torch will know what I mean.
I still don't know how they can produce this much cutting power in a 25 pound machine but they did. I am impressed with the machines quality and performance

Hobart 770548 Leather Welding Apron Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I wanted to like this because it seemed to have just the right configuration of pockets and the price can't be beat, however, after only wearing it a few times (like six,) the neck strap has almost completely torn through where it meets the bib. Not the stitching, the actual leather. All I've loaded it up with so far is a tape measure and a pencil so it's not like I abused it in any way whatsoever.
You get what you pay for normally, but in that case I don't think I even got that much.

US Forge Welding Red Cable Connectors for No. 4 thru No. 1/0 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this connector set because it appears to be identical to the welding cable plugs on my ancient Forney welder. I will be sending it back. Here's why:
Firstly, the photo shows a pair of black and red connectors, but the description says "red." The description is correct. The photo is misleading. You will receive one red male and one red female connector.
Secondly, while this item appears to be a copy of the original Forney plugs, right down to the part number molded into the plastic handles, it is a cheap copy. A bad copy as well, because the male plug does not have the taper used by Forney and is too large to even be plugged into the welder.

Thirdly, the cable clamp setscrews do not line up with the holes in the plastic handles, and even worse, the screw holding the handle on to the brass body protrudes out of the handle so far you are guaranteed to get a nasty shock just by handling the connector under power.
I agree with "A Customer" above. This item is an unuseable knockoff and potentially dangerous to boot.

Plastic Welder(TM) II (47ml Dev-Pak(TM)) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I needed an expoxy to bond ABS plastic and styrene plastic, and this stuff worked great. It's also reusable, as it includes the ability to reseal the cartridge when one's finished using it. My only complaint is that it wasn't made clear that, to use it, one also needs an applicator gun. That caused a delay and an additional expense, with expedited shipping used for both products. Then, when I finally had both products, I discovered I also needed a mixer nozzle. I couldn't find any of these products locally, so this third item also had to be ordered with expedited shipping, with another delay and another expense.

Metal Welder(TM) (35ml Dev-Pak(TM)) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is actually an industrial grade adhesive so is not really for the home user per se...but I had a piece of my motor block that had broken off from over torquing and decided to give adhesive a try rather than brazing or welding.
I did some test glues to see the strength before I tried it. It is amazing. The bond is somewhat elastic in nature when it dries which is good. The bond is amazingly strong. When you get it to fracture it will be after a large amount of force applied and the break will not be at the bond but rather it will take material with it when the break happens. So the bond is extremely strong.
As it is shipped you have to mix it yourself...the cannister that ships is meant actually for a dispenser (you press it out of the tube) but the dispenser doesn't come with it, however. I just mixed a bit up (2 substances) and applied a little that way.
This stuff puts super glue and other highstrength home use adhesive to shame.
It is metharcrylate which is a rather toxic substance if you used this regularly at work I think you'd have to wear a respirator. It didn't bother me much but I have a high tolerance for nasty stuff like this so keep that in mind.
